Empty Seminaries, empty souls, empty tabernacles. It all equals empty empathy for those who excuse Vatican II as not the cause of the diabolic disorientation that has destroyed the Faith of so many.

Having preceded Father Anthony Cekada by four years in a High School Seminary, yet far ignorant of the knowledge he has acquired since, I can attest to Fr. Cekada's latest response to the inane rationalization still being peddled by The Wanderer which seems to think the pope can do no wrong but the very men who he appointed are the culprits. Have they forgotten Harry Truman's epoch words, "The buck stops at that top"? No, their agenda, just as the writer James K. Fitzpatrick wrote, is to bury their head in the sand and not see the obvious. What makes this all the more glaring is that The Wanderer published this article on the traditional feast of the patron of priests (see below) Saint Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney. Fr. Cekada, certainly one of the world's most proficient and prominent traditional theologians, files a rebuttal to the superficial and false reasoning of Mr. Fitzpatrick and the eons of duped souls who cannot connect the dots that the infiltration of the seminaries and the closing of the minor seminaries, long the seed bed of vocations, had to be closed down in order to further the Modernistic tendecies of Vatican II. After all, those planted to disrupt and sow doubt had already saturated the ranks even during the time of Pope Pius XII, who tried to curb it with his encyclical (below), and the Modernists, in their plotting, could not afford to face resistance from a younger crop who might challenge views that were diametrically opposed to the sensus Catholicus. Without minor seminaries, vocations would be harder to foster. Without holy priests, there would be few to emulate and be touched by God's grace. And, as Fr. Cekada has so perfectly pointed out, "without true bishops there are no true priests, without true priests there is no Blessed Sacrament. Without God present...it is the triumph of the antichrist." Over the past 40-plus years we can now see the reality of that. Over 50% of my seminary professors left the priesthood in the aftermath of Vatican II's devastation and change. Fruits? There are none as Fr. Cekada points out in his latest Quidlibet reply
Seminary High Schools after Vatican II

Less than a decade before Vatican II was hatched, Pope Pius XII warned of the dangers

On Sunday we observe the 67th anniversary of His Holiness Pope Pius XII's 19th encyclical and what many believe, one of his greatest - Humani generis in which the last true Sovereign Pontiff dealt with the growing modernism and liberal tendencies lurking on the horizon and slithering into the Church. He wrote this magnificent encyclical in order to try to curb these false and dangerous opinions which were threatening to undermine the foundations of Catholic doctrine. To go back and read it today, one can easily see how it applies ever moreso to our time than it did in the relatively calm, innocent fifties before the revolution of Vatican II that set the trend for the sixties and the further sellout of the faith by eclipsing the true Church with the usurpers who followed, men who Pius XII was warning of in this very encyclical. One reason this encyclical has not had as much play as others is because when it was written, most of the bishops buried it even at the beginning of the fifties, either because they didn't think it applied to them then, or worse, they did and sought to conceal it. Another possible problem is that it could very well have been drowned out by the dogmatic decree Pius XII would declare three months later with the Dogma of the Assumption on November 1, 1950. Either way, this encyclical ranks with Saint Pius X's Pascendi Dominici Gregis in exposing the tactics of the Modernists. Definitely worth a read to see how in those seemingly golden days of the Church in America, there were serious problems rumbling and roiling beneath the surface. The lava was boiling and it would be less than a decade before it erupted. See for yourself with Pope Pius XII's encyclical Humani Generis

Do we have the guts to follow Saints Lawrence, Philomena and Clare?

This weekend we celebrate three saints (actually five when we include Roman martyrs Sts. Tiburtius and Susanna) who are the antithesis of what the conciliar church thinks folks should act today. We're talking about St. Lawrence, the holy Deacon who willingly accepted his martyrdom in legendary manner, asking his roasters to turn him over, he was done on one side as the Renaissance painting by Titian to the left depicts. Saint Philomena, one of Traditional Catholics' favorite saints, gave her life to preserve her faith and purity and had the angels fighting for her. Will the angels fight for us? Tiburtius and Susanna followed St. Lawrence and young Philomena in giving their lives rather than offer sacrifice to the false gods. Do you know of one conciliar bishop, priest or deacon who would willingly sacrifice himself for Christ and undergo such torture rather than conforming to the conciliar collective in compromising with the enemy on all fronts? It reminds one of Abraham who could not find ten just men, doesn't it? Traditional Catholics must be prepared to suffer the slings and arrows and grilling by those wedded to the world, for surely the same manner of persecution is not far off as the New World Order and One World Religion take shape before our very eyes as the beast seeks to take total control as the prince of the world, the prince of darkness. In the 1200's just as today, Saracens (another term for infidel, that is Moslems), fanatically dedicated to the very prince of darkness, threatened the city of Assisi and all within it's mountain abodes. St. Clare didn't blink. Rather, she trusted in God and took matters into her own hands, outraged that the Emperor Frederick II would employ infidels against Pope Innocent IV and his armies in storming the hills of Assisi. As The Lives of the Saints relates, "In 1244, Emperor Frederick II, then at war with the Pope, was ravaging the valley of Spoleto, which was part of the patrimony of the Holy See. He employed many Saracens in his army, and a troop of these infidels came in a body to plunder Assisi. St. Damien's church, standing outside the city walls, was one of the first objectives. While the marauders were scaling the convent walls, Clare, ill as she was, had herself carried out to the gate and there the Sacrament was set up in sight of the enemy. Prostrating herself before it, she prayed aloud: 'Does it please Thee, O God, to deliver into the hands of these beasts the defenseless children whom I have nourished with Thy love? I beseech Thee, good Lord, protect these whom now I am not able to protect.' Whereupon she heard a voice like the voice of a little child saying, 'I will have them always in My care.' She prayed again, for the city, and again the voice came, reassuring her. She then turned to the trembling nuns and said, "Have no fear, little daughters; trust in Jesus." At this, a sudden terror seized their assailants and they fled in haste. Shortly afterward one of Frederick's generals laid siege to Assisi itself for many days. Clare told her nuns that they, who had received their bodily necessities from the city, now owed it all the assistance in their power. She bade them cover their heads with ashes and beseech Christ as suppliants for its deliverance. For a whole day and night they prayed with all their might- and with many tears, and then 'God in his mercy so made issue with temptation that the besiegers melted away and their proud leader with them, for all he had sworn an oath to take the city.'" Yes, indeed, these saints this weekend, along with Saturday's holy Martyrs St. Tibertius, Susanna and the wonderful, miraculous Saint Philomena whom the conciliarist felt necessary to dispatch as not authentic (they should talk about authenticity!!!), all serve to show us that just as in their time, so also today, even moreso, we are the Church Militant! Let's fight for what we believe in then! For the Propers honoring these saints, see Weekend Warriors for Christ

The simple, Catholic remedies offered by the Cure of Ars are the Cure for today's ills. How many sacerdotes are willing to minister to souls and tell them what they need to hear for the spiritual welfare of their souls?

Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey files a late piece dealing with how St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney would smile on the works of those traditional priests and bishops who dare not compromise with the world or with any religion that caters to the world for the Cure of Ars preached penance and reparation, and stern measures to block out the world, the flesh and the devil by deeper devotion in prayer and focus to God and things of Heaven, including the Final Four Things, Death, Judgment, Heaven and hell. Tom shares the wisdom and common sense of St. John Vianney's sermon "I come on behalf of God" for it is a fact that cannot be disputed that those who follow Vatican II have caved to the "ethos that has mocked Christ and devastated souls." Tom explains in his article for the feast of the Cure d'Ars,
Serving Souls to the Point of Death

In honor of the holy patron of priests, Saint Jean Marie Vianney, the beloved Cure of Ars in France, we present three pieces that bring home the importance of the holy priesthood and why the devil has worked tirelessly to destroy the priesthood so that, from 1968 on, other than those few men ordained in the pre-Vatican II true Rite of Holy Orders by authentic Successors of the Apostles, the rest of the lot are not valid priests nor valid bishops and thus, as Father Cekada said "without true bishops to ordain true priests there can be no holy Sacrament of the Altar" with the result being the triumph of the antichrist. It is time to go back to square one and listen to a holy priest who warned against this because of one problem, the lukewarmness of Catholics who dropped their guard to how powerful satan is. The Cure d'Ars sermon kicks off a series of written sermons by holy saints we will be featuring in Traditional Sermons from true Saints. We will run this in addition to the audio sermons by today's true bishops and priests striving for upholding the ideals of those saints.
"On the Lukewarmness of Souls"

In addition, we bring you a redux of the magnificent article written by the late traditional pioneer priest Father James F. Wathen, author of the magnificent, never refuted work The Great Sacrilege In his moving essay, Father illustrates how we can only marvel at the fact that out of all the men, kings, rulers, leaders throughout time and the world, only a consecrated, validly ordained priest can forgive sins, confect the Most Blessed Sacrament at Holy Mass, and be there for so many who rely not on the man per se, but on his God-given powers conferred upon him. For every true priest it is a humbling thought! For every lay person, it is something we should never forget and cherish the dwindling number of faithful priests - the lifeline of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. He so beautifully measured the treasure of The Value of Traditional Priests.

Running the gamut, we present an article for the feast of St. Jean Marie Vianney, first run in New Oxford Review by Matthew Kauth, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi in Franklin, NC, a conservative conciliar parish in the Smoky Mountains. Though it comes from Novus Ordo sources, the words point to why there are so few good priests, why there are so few true priests today. Why Are So Few Priests Holy?

Wanted: A Political Candidate a Catholic Can Vote For in Good Conscience; one who will uphold God's will in all things without compromise.

Few Catholics today are willing to speak out and tell it like it really is with no fear of reprisal from the political correct cadre of cowards, but Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey, one of the foremost political science experts and definitely the most astute applier of true Catholic papal teaching, alerts every American of how true peace and harmony can be achieved: by working unceasingly and uncompromisingly for the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ. Unpopular? Maybe, but it is the only course to follow for all others will lead to doom. As Tom points out in one of the two columns on the same subject,
"When are Catholics going to learn that naturalism and inter-denominationalism and religious indifferentism are lies from the devil and thus can never be the foundation of social order? There is no such thing as 'Judeo-Christian' 'values,' for example. There is Catholic truth alone that is the basis of order within individual souls and hence in each and every nation on the face of this earth. It is thus Catholic truth--and none other that we are called to propagate. Although I am personally withdrawn from everything to do with electoral politics and attempt to explain to others the futility of our naturalist, Judeo-Masonic system of government and politics, the only purpose to even consider running for public office is to articulate Catholic truth so that a few seeds might be planted in the souls of one or two individuals here and there. We must think and speak and act confessionally as Catholics at all times without counting the costs, without considering any earthly gain." That is the narrow way that too few are willing to take, too few are willing to give up their comfort zones and temporal niceties to seek the truth. There is only one Truth - the Perfect Truth and it is only that Truth that will set us free. Tom warns that if we do not know our Faith, we will be engulfed by the world, the flesh and the devil in two excellent essays, one he issued a few days ago which we highlight here today Not Over Until the Last Day and his latest essay, a follow-up to the former in which he reasserts Catholic truth in Things Repugnant to the Peace and Happiness of Eternity

In accord with Tom's two articles to the left, we bring you the excellent series he wrote four years ago on Catholicism and the State in which he first showed to all the very truths that he cites in his most recent articles. Tom covers the causes and effects of why God cannot "bless America" until she gets it right with God. Tom explains in this enlightening 8-part series Catholicism and the State

The Motu Mess is the Slavery of Sold Souls for though they might have the Latin Mass, as part of Ratzinger's One World Ecumenical Church, they will always be deprived of the Integral Catholic Faith. Not good! Definitely, not Catholic!

It's been one month since the Motu Proprio Summorem Pontificum was released. Already we can see the fallout and the grave dangers of souls selling out. For documentation of the dangers you only need scroll down to see the articles posted over the last month. In addition, the faithful have, thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons.org, a library of excellent sermons and talks that we want to highlight and bring to your attention. While we will continue the series of sermons His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn gave two years ago on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in explaining the great gift we have in the Immemorial Canonized Apostolic Mass of All Ages in future issues, today we want to bring you two powerful sermons by Father Anthony Cekada who nails exactly what the Motu Mess is and why all must say "No to the Motu". He was one who foretold exactly what Ratzinger would do and Fr. Cekada nailed it, but warns all to not be blinded by the bright rainbow of the Latin Mass for that is indeed what the arch-heretic Benedict XVI is doing for, as Father emphasizes, Ratzinger "will give them the Latin Mass in his One World Religion, but he will never "give them the integral Catholic Faith." This was recorded well pre-Motu and it's uncanny how Fr. Cekada was exactly right on as you'll see in his sermon Ratzinger's Frankenchurch Heresy.

One of the first responders when the Motu Proprio was released, Fr. Cekada breaks it down to show why the Motu Mass is invalid and part of a false religion, part of the great rainbow of ecumenical enimas that cause the diahhrea of doctrine and will eventually cause the "eventual death of Vatican II." But for the present Father Cekada alerts all the omen voiced by the late Fr. Carl Pulvermacher that "they will allow the Latin Mass again when there are no longer true priests to say it." As Fr. Cekada asserts that is what is happening now for "without real bishops, there are no real priests; without real priests there is no Real Presence; without the Real Presence there is no God to worship. It is the triumph of the antichrist." This is a fast-paced powerful 27 minute sermon you don't want to miss and, as always you can listen to it while you surf other ports on The Daily Catholic. But by all means listen to:
The Motu Mass Benefits and Dangers

Beware of the Motu Moat. Do not cross over. It is a Trick that will end in being engulfed in the deadly, boiling oil of the Novus Ordo and the heresies of the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

The man-made fortress, that is the counterfeit church of conciliarism in which the VulgArians snuck into the Castle Keep of the True Church half a century ago to stake their claim as if it were theirs, is crumbling badly. It needs reinforcements that God refuses to provide for they have turned away from Him and His ordaining will intended for His True Church; so much so that the Borgia-type rascal Ratzinger has lowered the drawbridge in trying to lure in traditionalists to help pay for the reconstruction of the reform of the reform. The Fathers at TRADITIO Network document that the FSSP is fine with it and, from what we have seen so far in the response from Bishop Bernard Fellay, the SSPX is ripe for surrender as well. Using the facade of the SSPX and FSSP guarding the bridge, many will be duped into crossing over the moat of apostasy. We've seen one bridge collapse already last week. This drawbridge will surely collapse into the Motu Moat. Alas, beware, it's a Dead-End and and those who surrender will be stranded, isolated by God for He has withdrawn His graces from those who think they have a better idea than the Divine. The Fathers, in this piece and several others as you scroll, present several points that every Traditional Catholic should take seriously in exposing the Motu for what it is: a Deadly Trap! They need to realize that before shedding their armor and marching in rote across the great divide, they should look who mans the Keep today and see who he aligns with: the very men who the Magisterium has declared anathema sit! Stay with your bunker and continue the battle. Do not recognize the Robber Baron Barbarians who occupy the Keep. Do not be fooled. We can do so by Keeping the Faith. The only way to Keep it is by Knowing it and launching that knowledge with unyielding force at those poor dupes who are throwing down their shields and weapons and giving up. The Fathers warn in Indult Superior Turns Stooge in Unwittingly Revealing Ratzinger's Tactics

The doctrine of the expiatory death of Christ is Pauline and not evangelical.

Wherever did they get such nonsense? Even moreso who would believe such asinine thinking that Christ did not die in expiation for our sins. Why did He say He was the sacrificial Lamb if it was not to make expiation for the sin of Adam by the Father sending the Second Adam through the Second Eve, the Blessed Virgin Mary to expiate - as in make good for the offense against God? Why would He humble Himself to be born on the wood of a manger and die on the wood of the cross? Oh, right, He was just a prophet! So say the Jews and non-believers and Modernists who dare to question the dogmas of the Faith. All anathema. A thousand times, no a million times anathema. Now you might be saying that Modernists like Angelo Roncalli, Giovanni Montini, Karol Wojtyla and Joseph Ratzinger surely can't believe such rubbish as this error, let alone promote it. But in advancing the errors of Modernism which His Holiness Pope Pius XII tried to keep in check by censuring and censoring, Roncalli enabled the rest of the Modernists to trash the propitiatory Sacrifice of the Mass which is the on-going expiation of sins through that very Sacrifice where the very same Sacrifice of Calvary is reenacted in an unbloody manner. Can't have that because it displeases Protestants and Jews. So let's fashion a new one more palatable to modern man. So they conjure up that the whole idea of expiation was St. Paul's idea. Blame it on the blow from the horse on the way to Damascus. Yeah, as ridiculous as that sounds, the idea of buying into such a blasphemous error as "the doctrine is Pauline, not evangelical" is even more ridiculous and definitely heresy of the umpteenth degree. And yet so many buy into the obvious contradictions spouted by Modern Rome that the "Catholic Church no longer proselytizes." What, has Christ rescinded His COMMAND in St. Matthew 28: 20, St. Mark 16: 15-16 and St. John 21: 15-17? No, He has not and that should tell you which way to run: Away! Away as fast as you can from the Modernist counterfeit church of conciliarism for the sake of your soul and tell all others for the sake of their souls! Oh, the world won't like it, but Christ will and after all, that's all that counts. In doing so, we'll be making expiation for our own sins that helped nail Him to the cross. We have much to expiate for and to say that the Son of God did not come into this world to expiate for sin is asinine and heretical!

The opinions concerning the origin of the Sacraments which the Fathers of Trent held and which certainly influenced their dogmatic canons are very different from those which now rightly exist among historians who examine Christianity .

First of all, opinions mean absolutely nothing when it comes to the patrimomy of the Church and divine revelation. That's right, it is not opinion but DOGMA! which means one must believe it under penalty of sin and excommunication. See, no room for opinion when it comes to the Sacraments and dogmatic canons. But here is one of the benchmarks of the whole diabolic disorientation of Vatican II and all that followed: you see things are different now from what they used to be in those "medieval times of Trent." Now we are so much more advanced because we have worldly, money-motivated historians who set themselves up as experts and know better than men who were inspired by the Holy Ghost, yea, protected from error by the Sanctifier. No such protection is granted to those who would question that God changes His mind. Have they forgotten that Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever? They have indeed or they know but their pride prevents them from seeing the grievous, fatal error of their Modernist thinking. And yet, with the intelligence these historians and theologians (include here one Joseph Ratzinger) possess, they cannot plead ignorance to the dogmatic canons nor to the true origins of the Sacraments. So if they know and still persist, how can they plead not guilty to the charge of Modernism; how can they plead innocent to being an enemy of Christ and His Church? They cannot, and yet, they dance around terms and ambiguities to say, "oh, no, I didn't mean that, what I really meant was this," and a month later another explanatory note is released, that in effect, says "You misunderstood what I really meant in my disclaimer of my original words and here's how you should take it:" Then they proceed to force the proverbial boot deeper into their mouths as they cover one ambiguity with another (read lie upon another) further confusing the congregations who have, in essence, no comprehension of what is being said but, because of who is saying it, buy it hook, line and sinker without applying the safeguards of the Faith because that would take effort and commitment and just might force the lukewarm out of their comfort zones in the modern convenient conciliar customs where sin is no longer sin, per se, and sacraments can be anything you want them to be. Forget what our Lord says in the Gospel of St. John, Chapter Six. Forget St. Paul's stern warnings in 1 Corinthians 11: 27-32 that "whosoever shall eath this bread, or drink this chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord." But you see, thanks to the total saturation of Modernism into the counterfeit church of conciliarism, consciences have been dulled and rationalized, and, because everyone is doing it, well, it can't be wrong! Au contraire, mes amis. The sooner those sleeping wake up to those facts, the more souls will be saved. One thing is for sure, the longer one dallies, the more satan will win to him. Do you really want that? The remedy: Pray and Return to the Tenets of Trent!

The Sacraments have their origin in the fact that the Apostles and their successors, swayed and moved by circumstances and events, interpreted some idea and intention of Christ.

In the same vein as above, you can see the Protestant influence on conciliarism and how Modernists perpetuate such heresies as His Holiness St. Pius X warned. Again, it's the old canard, blame it on the Apostles. They changed everything. This way, on the surface and to the unsuspecting, gullible mind, the Modernist can not openly cast aspersions on the Son of God and His intentions...yet. But rather the Modernist uses the tactics of sowing doubts that once our Lord was gone (and to the Modernists that doesn't necessarily mean risen and ascended, but stolen away from the tomb by, who else, the Apostles. Oh, to the Modernists, they are the culprits, the fall guys) then the Apostles and the Disciples changed the story and even dared to "interpret some idea and intention of Christ" as if they didn't know Him and the message He conveyed so clearly. That excuse might have worked while they were still stumbling and fumbling around following Him for only one Apostle stood by Him in His darkest hour and yet for us the finest hour. That would be St. John the Beloved Disciple who alone was spared martyrdom, and yet still suffered many crosses himself. Those apostles before Christ's death might very well have cowered and been confused at times. But after the descent of the Holy Ghost on Pentecost Sunday, no such rationalization that they falsely "interpreted some idea and intention of Christ" holds water. They were protected from error by the Holy Advocate Who was promised to them by their Lord and Master. They didn't make it up as they went along. They didn't alter their teaching to accommodate man. If so, why would any of them have been willing to be martyred for Christ? You see, the arguments of the Modernists don't hold up under cross examination. Never do! And yet, Modernists like Roncalli, Montini, Wojtyla and Ratzinger have prattled on with their round-about fringes that smack of heresy, but we dare not call it such because they were "visible popes" to the world and you cannot attack a sacred cow who in reality is full of bull, and we're not talking Papal Bulls! What they have, in fact done, is cause grave damage to the Primacy of Peter, lowering it to a political level with traces of spirituality in sound-bites and photo ops that cause scandal to knowing Catholics. Can anyone imagine St. Peter, or St. Leo the Great, or St. Gregory the Great, or St. Gregory VII, or Pope Paul IV or St. Pius V, or Pope Leo XIII or St. Pius X - or, for that matter, any preconciliar Pope and that includes the scallion Alexander VI, cavorting with pagans, condoning false religions with a Judas Kiss of the Koran, bowing in a Mosque, pandering to Pantheists, permitting the Buddha to be placed upon the Holy of Holies, denying the good fruits of Trent, apologizing for the evangelizing of the Faith to the world, kowtowing to Jews in the synagogue of satan, congratulating false idols and idol worshippers such as Hindus, Moslems, Shintos, Buddhists and what not? Never! That alone should tell you in a nutshell that all His Holiness St. Pius X was exhorting in his aggressive campaign against the "synthesis of all heresies" for the protection of souls has been cast to the wind as no longer applicable to the modern mind. Call it rubbish, call it claptrap. Call it what it really is: Anathema! Anathema a million times!

All imposters sitting upon the throne since the death of Pius XII in 1958 have proven by their words and actions that they have led the faithful astray and cannot be Catholic, for to admit they were would be to admit that the Bride of Christ was corruptible and She is not.

Brides of Christ in Blue Bring a Song of Joy, Love and Enthusiasm for the True Faith

Denise Trias has filed an article which is ideal for the feast of the Finding of the Body of St. Stephen for it is sandwiched between two saints who had such a devotion to Our Lady and her holy Rosary - St. Alphonsus Liguori and St. Dominic. Indeed, many Catholics are refinding the Body of Faith of their Fathers in East Boston and elsewhere in New England, resurrected by the valiant efforts of Sister Mary Bernadette, CMRI and her fellow Sisters of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen. For the first time a few weeks ago, eight of the CMRI Sisters were able to visit Sister and tour her mission at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel as well as meet the wonderful people who have come to love Sister Bernadette, Director of "The Singing Nuns", and all she stands for in fulfilling Christ's call and living the Vocation prayer to the fullest: "Give us...SISTERS to teach the young and nurse the sick, and to minister Thy charity to all." Denise's piece illustrates this fact in showing the fruits of the Spokane Marian Sisters' visit to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Mission in East Boston and the faithful's response to their zeal with Sent to Warm Hearts and Minister Thy Charity to All

Without the Keystone of Faith, braced by the Two Pillars, every Bridge will Topple into the River Styxx.

The mighty Mississippi swallows concrete and steel, conflicting the lives of so many Minnesotans

Editor Michael Cain presents a sobering commentary on the catastrophic collapse of the I-35W Bridge that, for most of the day on August 1st, spanned the Twin Cities over the fast-flowing mighty Mississippi. Then it collapsed, taking with its massive girders of steel and concrete untold unsuspecting victims. Cain shows how that tragedy parallels the inevitable collapse of the conciliar bridge built on the false premises of Vatican II, whose structure is built on loose soil and will tumble into the abyss, loaded down with the opprobrium of novelty and heresy. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Will souls see the warning and avoid it like the plague, or will they rush pell mell onto it, weighing it down with the stress of indifference that will cause a regurgitation of the Lord's just wrath? Don't say we haven't been warned. Cain points to the only safe bridge in the world, the true Roman Catholic Church which alone has the Keystone of Faith built upon the Two Pillars that will guarantee it cannot fall. He hopes the shockwaves of this recent catastrophe will shake the thunder of souls to flock back to where the authentic sheepfold is; shock them into the reality that a collapse could happen to them when they least expect it for the counterfeit church of conciliarism is a teetering entity that is spindled in the murky waters of Vatican II and destined to plummet into the troubled waters. What is more troubling are those still on that wobbly bridge that continues to swing one way on one day and the other way on the next. Souls too numerous to number are at stake. That is why we should all be concerned about the Bridge Under Troubled Waters

St. Alphonsus warned us of the very crisis we face today. Did we listen? Evidently not. Should we listen now? Most definitely!

Saint Alphonsus Liguori was the last Doctor of the Church chronologically. He was born near Naples and received a law doctorate in his teens. He had the world as his oyster and chose to cast his net into the sea in being a fisher of men. He founded an order dedicated to redeeming souls and he wrote volumes during a time when the enlightenment was already threatening the foundations of the Church. He vowed never to waste a moment and never did. He was the outstanding moral theologian who held the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as the greatest gift any Catholic could partake in. He foretold the very crisis the Church is suffering today when he prophesied, "The devil has always attempted, by means of the heretics, to deprive the world of the Mass, making them precursors of the antichrist, who, before anything else, will try to abolish and will actually abolish the Holy Sacrament of the altar, as a punishment for the sins of men, according to the prediction of Daniel 'And strength was given him against the continual sacrificer'." Alphonsus, through a thorough knowledge of the Faith, the cavalier attitude already permeating the Church and through messages he himself received from Heaven, knew that day would come when, just as Our Lord foretold in Matthew 24: 15, the "abomination of desolation" would occur. St. Alphonsus was truly the Keeper of the Moral Compass.

One can never mix the Sacred with the Profane

A whole new Pandora's Box has been opened with the release of the Motu as the "fence sitters" teeter trying to make up their mind. They can't be on both sides. Thousands of Catholics are asking questions and the Fathers from the TRADITIO Network address the most important ones, which deal directly with Benedict's Motu that it will become a mixture of the Motu with the Novus Ordo. As much as BeneRatz would like it to justify his synthesis-antithesis, it cannot and will not mix, will not blend together. Just as oil cannot mix with water, so also the sacred can never mix with the profane. It is an insult to God to even endeavor such a blasphemous act by forcing a synthetic man-made rite into a divinely ordained perfect rite established by God Himself and a means of salvation for billions for nearly twenty centuries. The Fathers point out not only the inconsistencies, but the null and void aspects of the conciliar presbyters which come up far short of Anglican Orders and the Fathers provide the proof His Holiness Pope Leo XIII's Apostolicae Curae which furnishes more than enough evidence that the current crop of "priests" ordained since 1968 cannot be valid priests and therefore cannot confect the Sacrament of the Altar whether it be the NOM or a Motu. It takes a true priest ordained in the true Roman Rite changed by Paul VI in 1968. In a question from a Novus Ordo "Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist" on whether he can continue such abomination at the Motu, the Fathers clearly point out there are far graver problems than that in The Folly of Combining the Novus Ordo and the "Motu Mess"

With the expanding internet technology, The Daily Catholic has admittedly been behind the curve in presenting audio presentations along with print. One reason we have not until now is because we ourselves were not equipped to listen to these audios so that we could recommend them. Now we've added some software that enables this editor to hear them and pass these jewels on to our readers. The faithful have, thanks to TraditionalCatholicSermons.org, a library of excellent sermons and talks that we want to highlight and bring to your attention. Today we begin with the first part of a series of sermons His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn gave two years ago on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in explaining the great gift we have in the Immemorial Canonized Apostolic Mass of All Ages. He commences with informing all why Latin was and is the universal language of the Church and His Excellency points out that the language cannot change because our religion cannot change, and thus we have kept this custom throughout the history of the Church until Vatican II when they "invented a vulgar service." His words prompted us to coin the word "VulgArians" to describe those who would choose trash over treasure. The Bishop provides all kinds of pearls that will give you a greater appreciation for what Father Frederick Faber called "The Most Beautiful Thing this side of Heaven." His first sermon is around twenty minutes which you can listen to while you surf other ports on The Daily Catholic.
The Mass: Why Latin?

Word has reached us that Father Patrick Fox, one of the pioneers of preserving the Traditional Latin Mass in Australia and New Zealand, has completed his mission on earth and has been called to his eternal reward. For 68 years he served our Lord faithfully, never ever saying the abominable Novus Ordo. He was born in the second year of Pope Benedict XV's pontificate and ordained a priest in the early months of the papacy of Pope Pius XII. He played a pivotal role in welcoming the SSPX down under and assisted them wherever and whenever he could. Yet, his allegiance to the Vincentians to which he was ordained, created many crosses with the drastic changes and the order following the conciliar collective and he was forced into the catacombs to continue celebrating the Immemorial Canonized Mass of All Ages. An interesting vignette in Fr. Fox's life was that he was pastor in the 60's and early 70's to several who had moved to Sydney from the United States to ensure they still had the Traditional Latin Mass. One of those young families was Hutton Gibson and his children, one of whom was none other than Mel Gibson. Fr. Fox's funeral services were held this past weekend which included two Requiem Masses and burial at the SSPX Holy Cross Seminary down under on Saturday. Once again the traditional movement has lost a noble, persevering dry martyr who never compromised his faith or loyalty to Christ and His Church. Below we include the Collect from Father Fox's Requiem Mass:

Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that the soul of Thy servant Patrick, Thy priest, whom in this life Thou didst honor with the sacred office, may rejoice in the glory of Heaven for evermore.

Will Ratzinger never quit monkeying with Catholic truth?

In case those traditionalists and conservative neo-Catholics were too busy either shopping for white flags or searching for flowers to strew at the feet of Benedict XVI in their misplaced euphoria over his Motu a few weeks ago, we remind you to read what he said just a few days ago as he was finishing up his holiday in northern Italy. He was on holiday and has been since the fifties - a holiday from the True Faith! Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey files an essay which contains proof of his most recent heretical scuttlebutt. Along with all the other heresies which he has never recanted, he pronounced publicly late last week that "We all see that today man can destroy the foundation of his existence, his Earth." No, that wasn't radical global-warming nutcase Al Gore in disguise, that was the man some traditionalists are willing now to recognize as a valid pope when what he says, and has said since before Pope Pius XII censured him in the 50's, has been heretical and a modernist through and through. Tom documents this most recent heresy and warns all to beware of this most dangerous Hegelian disciple by citing Catholic truth not only in the Scriptures, but also His Holiness St. Pius X's Pascendi Dominici Gregis. Tom also shows the "evolution" of this heresy by tracing his revolutionary evolution ideas back to Georg Hegel and Pierre Tielhard de Chardin. No, folks, Ratzinger is not and cannot be a Catholic Pope for a true pope cannot teach error in matters of faith and morals and that is all ol' BeneRatz seems to do! And don't buy the flimsy excuse which those, trying to justify their resist-and-recognize position, use that he is "just expressing private opinion." Private? Hardly, evident in the volumes of other pronouncements which are public and widespread. The "private opinion" doesn't hold water any more than Benedict can change water into wine or wine into the Blood of Christ with his Novus Ordo rite. Tom provides yet another example to illustrate, as the above graphic bluntly depicts, that the "emperor" isn't wearing any clothes. Tom illustrates how evolution is intrinsic to a Hegelian and Modernist who thrive on evolving truth through synthesis-antithesis. Besides being a Modernist, Benedict also espouses Pantheism. Anathema sit indeed! Tom lays it all out in Listen to the Voice of God

The Mother who set the standard for preparing her child for God's specific purpose

To commemorate this Double of the Second Class Feast of Saint Anne Mother of the Mother of God, we present a tribute by Denise Trias in which she lists the holy attributes of St. Joachim's holy wife. While today is not Mother's Day, it could very well be. At the least it should be "Grandmother's Day" because it is the feast of the greatest grandmother who ever lived, the grandmother of none other than the Son of God Himself. Yes, we are referring to good Saint Anne. What other term can one give to this awesome, obedient and patient loving mother of the Mother of God? She is the patron of many and, in the great clarion of saints is often overlooked, lost in the shuffle since she was one of the very first saints. Her cooperation with God through her spouse Joachim produced in her autumn years the miracle of birth. In her womb was formed the most Immaculate, perfect finite being the world has ever, or will ever, know. How could we ever forget Mary's mother and Jesus' Grandma? She sets the example of perseverance and the priority of bearing children. This is a lesson lost on today's selfish, instant-gratification generation who have so sadly forgotten that the rewards of motherhood are 'rolled over' in Heaven forever. Why? Because mothers work in cooperation with God to populate Heaven, and this would never have been possible without the fiat of good Saint Anne.
Denise also takes the reader inside St. Anne's Shrine in Massachusetts to illustrate some of the magnificent statues in this magnificent edifice, most notably of St. Anne herself nurturing her beloved, Immaculate daughter in body, mind and soul. Denise shares her experience in Good Saint Anne, Patroness of Mothers

The new refrain that could be heard in the not-too-distant future from Feminists: "I am Conciliar Woman, Hear me Roar! Then pass me the Red Hat. It will go great with my ensemble."

How ironic and sad that we notify you, after the above on the feast of one who epitomized femininity, the agenda of the feminists who, evidently, have Ratzinger's ear. We've all heard of the "time bombs" planted in the Vatican II reforms, thanks to the alert research of the late traditional crusader Michael Davies, who, despite all his wonderful contributions, may be part of the cause for many traditionalists being duped today by BeneRatz and his latest little coup de tat against traditional resistance - his Motu Mess. Indeed, those time bombs are still ticking and one of the most explosive ones is being tossed around like a grenade by various press wigs within the Vatican Collective. One such is Pater Eberhard von Gemmingen, Vatican Radio Correspondent for German listeners who is touting that Ratzinger could very well be laying the groundwork for not only women priests, but female cardinals! You heard us right and The Fathers at TRADITIO Network have more details in one of their most recent postings on the real agenda of the Modernists and Feminists laying in the weeds, ready to pounce. Now we can see another motive for Chiara Lubich's part in plastering St. Peter's Square with pre-printed signs clamoring Subito Santo for the nefarious Karol Wojtyla at his funeral. So much for "spontaneity." The Fathers lay out the differences between Traditional Catholic beliefs and fiction such as the infamous "Popess Joan" and do so in conjunction with the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost in which the Epistle admonishes not to tempt Christ and the Gospel relates how our Lord reacted when they turned the House of Prayer into a den of thieves; exactly what the counterfeit church of conciliarism has done. See, Benedict-Ratzinger's Press Director Predicts Female Cardinals Coming

By knowing who influenced a Modernist, you will know him as still a Modernist! You might say, "By their roots you shall know them."

Every Catholic is supposed to pray the Act of Faith each morning upon waking, along with the Acts of Hope, Charity and Contrition. Do we really believe what we say in the Act of Faith? One wonders, as does Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey as he lays out how Father Joseph Ratzinger surely does not. In fact Tom traces the Hegelian and heretical roots of Ratzinger's folly in thinking that dogma and truth can evolve. Doctrine is set in stone. It cannot change and this is something that everyone should realize as they go running to strew roses where BeneRatz walks in idolizing a man who has given recognition to false idols by condoning the ecumaniacal congratulations to Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish and Protestant feasts; a direct slap in the face of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Church He established with the infrangible truths we must believe as professed in the Act of Faith. Tom details how Ratzinger has incurred anathema sit from previous reliable true Sovereign Pontiffs who put it in no uncertain terms. He explains in his essay, Has Not God Revealed Them All?

Speaking of roots, Tom switches from Ecclesiastical to the Executive Branch Mode in showing that the Bush and Clinton Clan come from the same mold and that mold, no matter how the spinmeisters shape it, is molding for it is not and has never been built on the foundation of Catholic truth. For that very reason it has failed and will continue to fail despite the rhetoric that they have the answers. Only One has the answers and He is not in politics, but His truths are upheld only in the catecomb churches where true bishops and priests strive to impart the unsullied Faith! They are the true public servants we should look up to. Tom delineates the corrosion of American soil and its soul in Two Families in Alternate Worlds

You can't keep a good saint down! Long live the memory and veneration of Saint Christopher, instrinsically linked to St. James and our Lord.

While today we celebrate the Double of the Second Class Feast of Saint James the Greater, lost in the shuffle is poor Saint Christopher whom the Vatican II Modernists didn't particularly take a hankering to and, with the feeble excuse that "there wasn't enough historical proof of his existence", eliminated him from the liturgical calendar just as he did dear Saint Philomena. In a way they weren't offended. After all, what else would you expect from an impostor intent on destroying the holy faith? In an effort to keep St. Christopher visible for Catholics, we present here a brief summation of his virtues by the renowned Abbot Dom Prosper Gueranger from The Liturgical Year.

The name of Christopher, whose memory enhances the solemnity of the son of thunder, signifies one who bears Christ. Christina yesterday reminded us that Christians ought to be in every place the good odor of Christ (2 Corinthians 2: 15), Christopher today puts us in mind that Christ truly dwells by faith in our hearts (Ephesians 3: 17). The graceful legend attached to his name is well known. [though Montini and his gang of Modernists didn't think so!] As other men were at a later date, to sanctify themselves in Spain by constructing roads and bridges to facilitate the approach of pilgrims to the tomb of St. James, so Christopher in Lycia had vowed for the love of Christ to carry travelers on his strong shoulders across a dangerous torrent. Our Lord will say on the last day: 'What you did to one of these My least brethren, you did it unto Me.' One night, being awakened by the voice of a child asking to be carried across, Christopher hastened to perform his wonted task of charity, when suddenly, in the midst of the surging and apparently trembling waves, the giant, who had never stooped beneath the greatest weight, was bent down under his burden, now grown heavier than the world itself. 'Be not astonished,' said the mysterious child, 'thou bearest Him Who bears the world.' And He disappeared, blessing His carrier and leaving him full of heavenly strength. Christopher went on to be crowned with martyrdom under Decius. The aid our fathers knew how to obtain from him against storms, demons, plague, accidents of all kinds, has caused him to be ranked among the saints called helpers. In many places the fruits of the orchards were blessed on this day, under the common auspices of St. Christopher and St. James.

In many traditional parishes, vehicles are blessed on this day as well for St. Christopher medals and statues still populate traditional homes and cars. St. Christopher ferried so many of His "lesser ones" across the turbulent river to pray at the tomb (above left) of St. James the Greater at Santiago Compostela in Spain. A final thought. Why would Archbishop Giovanni Montini have wanted to rid the calendar of St. Christopher? Why would Bishop Karol Wojtyla and Father Joseph Ratzinger have followed suit in condoning such insolence? Could it be because St. Christopher, is, as Abbe Gueranger points out above, the patron saint against demons and we all know who let the demon dogs in the front door after Cardinal Angelo Roncalli opened wide the back door. Sancte Christophorus, ora pro nobis.

Now Performing: "The Great Benedini", Master Illusionist Extraordinaire et Ordinaire*

*Since he seems to think Extraordinary and Ordinary rites are compatable, which they cannot be!

As many scribes and pharisees dissect BeneRatz's latest trick, the Motu Proprio, a few trusted sources nail what and who is really behind the curtain, who's really pulling the strings, who is hypnotizing countless clueless Catholics into doing whatever the master illusionist "The Great Benedini" says. He should be a headliner at the Palladium, his act is so clever, but he's not exactly playing off-Broadway as this Modernist marionette dangles the strings from his stage in Vatican City. However the Fathers from the TRADITIO Network are not so easily fooled as they expose the conciliar charade for what it really is. They write for the feast of St. Panteleon (who by the way chose martyrdom over his betraying, even one iota, his Lord and Master Jesus Christ, or the holy faith this martyr was blessed with. This medical doctor in the time of Diocletian would not offer one pinch of incense to the pagan gods; a far cry from the total surrender and syncretism today in Rome!), "The Achilles heel in the Great 'Motu' Mess Hoax is Benedict-Ratzinger's blatant lie that the Catholic and Apostolic Traditional Latin Mass of St. Peter and the fabricated 1969 Novus Ordo Protestant-Masonic-Pagan service of the Freemason Hannibal Bugnini and his Committee of Six Protestant Ministers are 'a single rite.' And Benedict-Ratzinger knows that he has published a lie in Summorum pontificum because he himself called it so in 1992, when he wrote that the Novus Ordo service did not come from Catholic and Apostolic Tradition, but was 'a fabrication, a banal on-the-spot product.'" You can read more at their latest posting on the Hoax, and about the intent to incorporate yet a new missal that will further confuse pewgoers, but then isn't that exactly how Vatican II came about? One also has to wonder if Bishop Fellay isn't attached to one of those strings. The Father's clarify in Great Motu Mess Hoax Continues with a possible 'Motu Missal' on the horizon

They say fish are not as smart as several give them credit for despite the fact they're most often found in "schools", but there's a special kind of finny species that is the favorite catch of the Modernists and ol' BeneRatz the Angler has just stocked Lake Conciliar with the choice large mouth bass, known by the species name resistandrecognize, whose gullible gills give away their heart and make them a prime lure for the conciliar carp. They're being reeled in as we write (just take a look at the latest Remnant for evidence of being in way over the limit). But you just know Benny and his crew are only going to toss most of 'em back into the drink or place them on the hook as bait for bigger fish, if you get the drift. Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey does, for he bobbed up and down on that Lake as we did for so many years, frustrated and rowing against the waves that were always flowing to the left. They still do, though now they are more turbulent as the casting intensifies for tradfish. Watch out, you may not realize it, but if you're being reeled in by the spinning lure of the Motu, you're just being fattened up for bait. Tom explains in his article in which he reminds us that we had better be wary because fishing season is open and to the Modernists, there are no limits, no rules. He elaborates in Hook, Line, and Sinker

How the CMRI Brides of Christ were led into Subterfuge and Insurrection to Abandon the Vows they professed.

Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey files an investigative piece that should alert the faithful to beware of wolves, ravenous ones, in the clothing of sheep. This is a follow-up to several of Tom's articles in which he has expertly dealt with the rebellion and misinformation that has been circulating on blogs that are out of touch with the real problem, out of touch with the truth of the whole matter regarding the sabotage of several former CMRI sisters. He cites the subterfuge that had been fomented by the rebellious sisters who, in the planning, dismissed their vows of obedience as well as their vows of poverty by accepting gifts from those who look at them as trophies with never a care for their immortal soul but only to protect their own interests and continue the charade of the counterfeit church of conciliarism that is totally without good fruits, a bad, rotting tree that we all know will be cast into the eternal fire just as our Lord has affirmed in last Sunday's Gospel, most pertinent to this essay by Tom as to "the wolves in the clothing of a sheep." As we did on June 6, so also in this piece we felt it important to also publish and format it with his permission for our permanent archives. Tom reveals things Popes Leo XIII and St. Pius X warned us of, but the counterfeit church of conciliarism, at every level of its hierarchy, don't want you to know. It needs to be told, needs to be known as Tom reveals in his expose, The Rest of the Story

Sisters, O Sisters, do you realize what you have done?

Griff Ruby pens a heart-wrenching Open Letter to those CMRI Sisters who have turned their backs on what holy Mother Church has always held sacred and have embraced the New Order with all its novelties, despite their profession of Vows. He writes from his heart in hoping that for these Brides of Christ, who have left their Groom, are merely struggling with a brief separation and not divorce. In addressing the Sisters directly Griff shows how it pains our Lord and our Lady so that you weren't satisfied with those God entrusted to you to help you achieve your eternal salvation. If you believe that can be attained through the mechanisms of the Novus Ordoites you're in for quite a life-shock. Sooner or later it will hit those Sisters who heard the siren and fell for the love-bombs. Eve did the same thing. To God and to those you left behind at the Mount, you are a priceless treasure. As such, we have to ask as Jesus referred to in St. Matthew 7: 5-6. Do you really and truly want to give that which is holy to dogs? Jesus has the answer: "Neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, tear you." Think about that, dear Sisters of illusion. That is the fate that awaits. It's inevitable. All those you left behind continue to pray for you and and have great concern for your spiritual welfare and for your state of mind, in so much emotional confusion at this time. Just remember, Sisters, home is just around the corner and up the hill. You know the way. It's up to you to return to the only sure path to get there. Griff extends hope that this will still be possible with his chock-full-of-Catholic-love An Open Letter to the Sisters who have left the CMRI

Among his many infamous statements over the years from "subsists in" to the Fatima Fabrication of the Third Secret, Father Joseph Ratzinger has opened mouth and inserted foot in his attempt to pacify all groups from the Muslims to the Jews. Now he's in trouble again with Protestants for uncharacteristally sounding Catholic for once in signing off on a CDF release that states a direct contradiction to Lumen Gentium and a week later comes the usual "we didn't mean what we said" explanatory letter and denials that makes Bill Clinton's explanations seem mild compared to the bizarre banalties emanating from the seat of the counterfeit conciliar church. But, as Dr. Marian Horvat points out, he's gone too far this time in conceding surrender to Red China and sacrificing those loyal Catholics who have fought for over half a century to preserve the true faith. But that wouldn't be expedient to pleasing the majority which is Benedict's goal: to placate man with his incessant "dialogue" spiel that he promoted behind the scenes at Vatican 2 as one of the main periti and as the gnat in the ear of Montini and Wojtyla. A yes man, this Hegelian, that's for sure. While he schmoozes traditionalists to lure them into his clutches with his much misunderstood and deceiving Motu Summorum Pontificum in his demonic attempt to defuse opposition to the heresies he has promoted by dividing traditional camps and conquering, he has chosen to make friends of mammon with the vast powerful sleeping bear: China. What BeneRatz has proposed is akin to Pope St. Pius I conceding to Marcus the Agnostic, or Pope St. Fabian going along with the Roman Emperor Decius and advising Christians to give it up, go ahead and offer incense, or Pope St. Leo the Great giving Attila the Hun the keys of the kingdom and the city of Rome, or Pope St. Gregory VII tolerating the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV and not excommunicating him for that might disturb the political situation of the times, or Pope Clement VII writing the clergy and people of England that they should all get along and do what Henry VIII advises, though Rome can't officially recognize his illegitimate marriages, Rome won't interfere because it wouldn't be best for the "unity of community." Ridiculous? You bet but that's exactly what the most dangerous man to ever sit on the throne of Peter has done and Dr. Horvat nails the consequences in her article, Benedict Delivers Underground Catholics to Communism

Space! That area between the ears of Cling-ons who dare to boldly go where no saint or true Catholic would dare go. Yet they're still willing to let Benny beam 'em up into the Starship Consillyium!

Captain Kirk, move over for the VulgArian Joseph Ratzinger has commandeered the spaceship Consillyium and is threatening to take it to the Next Generation with a reform of the reform of the reform. He just needs to convince the Cling-ons whose cloak of invisibility is soon to become very visible in their being duped by Captain BeneRatz and his counterfeit conciliar crew. Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey records in his Christ or chaos logs on stardate July 17, of the horrendous dangers that lay ahead. All one has to do is look back to see the course set by the conciliarists and realize it's a doomed flight. And yet the head of the Cling-ons and other resist-and-recognize civilizations are ready to hand over their crafts and Catholic integrity for the sake of the unity of the new world universe. Thankfully, there are still a few guarding the Catholic Galaxy of Truth and they reside in the Sedevacantist Enterprise, a most appropriate metaphor meant as a slur by Christopher Ferrara a few years ago, but a rallying cry for the resistance to buckle in, avoid the siren of Hegelian madness, put up the force field of non-compromise, and vow allegiance to Christ to faithfully uphold the Sacred Deposit of Faith, firmly embedded in the hull of the true Barque of Peter cloaked by an eclipse since the fall of 1958. Now is the time to defend Catholic truth against the onslaught of the VulgArians, Cling-ons and other forces intent on revising the infrangible logs of the infallible, perennial Magisterium. The true Church will prosper again, once it destroys the blackhole of conciliarism. To help Catholics navigate through the darkness out there, Tom sets the Catholic coordinates with his essay, Liturgy: The Final Frontier

A Catholic Response to the CDF Spin!

Griff Ruby, who has written one of the most thorough refutations of Vatican II in pinpointing the document Lumen Gentium as the culprit that cut the conciliar church off from the Catholic Church, files his response to the nonsense issued last week by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (sic). No matter how the counterfeit conciliarists try to spin "subsists in" it always comes back to their interpretation of what "subsists in" subsists in. It's the old shell game, a languishing labyrinth of ambiguities in which they fashion facts after the fact that have, in fact, no fact to them. Such is the state of deceivers. They can seldom remember what they said before and often tend to cover one lie with another even more ridiculous. In so doing they not only expose themselves more openly as being satan's architects of the "operation of error", but aggravate the very "friends of mammon" they're trying to pander to in their ineptitude to explain away a heresy that still remains a heresy no matter how they twist it. Griff breaks it down in his treatise, How One Novelty Invents More Novelties

The Significance of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel

Down through the ages Mount Carmel has been a rock of inspiration and sanctification from the time of Elias to present day. The story of Carmel is prose, poetry and prayer and basically the benchmark of the Blessed Virgin Mary's integral role as Advocate, Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces. Carmel has been favored by Our Lady as foretold in the Old Testament and as manifested to St. Simon Stock in 1251 when she bestowed on him the Brown Scapular and the amazing promise of ultimate salvation to all who abide by the rules of the Scapular. In addition, at Lourdes the Blessed Mother appeared to Bernadette as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on this day 147 years ago and in the same heavenly garb on her final apparition at Fatima on October 13, 1917. We provide a thorough backgrounder on the meaning and magnificence of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and its history, masterfully conveyed by Dom Prosper Gueranger in his masterpiece The Liturgical Year as well as the Act of Consecration to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in honor of today's Double Major Commemoration in a feature we have chosen to call The Lasting Magnificence, Grace, and Power of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

BeneBull in the China Shop

Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey filed three features this past weekend, that we weren't able to upload because of power outages and computer problems. His first is a follow-up to several articles he's recently written in which he ties in the modus operandi of BeneRatz' proximity to releasing his shunted letter to China and his misleading Summorum Pontificum Motu Proprio. Ratzinger has long been on board for "blaming the Church" for past sins while ignoring his own and those he's empowered both as head of the CDF and now the counterfeit conciliar "pope". It is necessary for him to wipe out what was in order to establish what will be and he'll sacrifice whatever he can to attain his Hegelian goals. In other words, the Church hasn't done enough and now he has the answers that, strangely, previous holy popes, Doctors and the early Fathers never would have thought of. Why? Because they're blatant heresy, that's why. Tom details in his article
"Reconciliations" at the Price of Truth

Snakes in the Taj Mahony

In Tom's second article he clears away the filthy underbrush where the serpent crawls throughout the souls of Los Angelenos and misguided conciliar catholics throughout the country. The den of iniquity begins in the Archdiocese of LA and the most poisonous, deadly viper is the fatal apostate colubra Satanae Mahonyius. His fangs are concealed but his bite will paralyze souls and leave them totally devoid of any grace. He speaks always with forked tongue and now the question, how is he going to slither his way out of the scandalous bog he's sunk the west coast into. Tom exposes this slimy, scaly creature of the devil as we pray for Our Lady's heel to crush his head in the sense of eliminating his authority once and for all and to make reparation for the evil he has done in violating every commandment beginning with the First and running the gamut. The viper's pit is full of more of his venomous kind all up and down the coast and infiltrating every conciliar diocese from sea to slithering sea. Where is St. Patrick when we need him? Tom reveals the facts in his no-holds barred piece,
The Six Hundred Million Dollar Man and His Friends

Oh, Henry! St. Henry! Help us!

Finally, in honor of the saint for July 15, the holy Emperor Saint Henry, Tom pays tribute both because he is Tom's patron saint by confirmation and because this saintly ruler upheld without compromise the Social Kingship of Christ the King. While Modern Rome turns to pagan Europe to save Christianity, they should turn to St. Henry and Eternal Rome, led by previous reliable Popes who laid it out in black and white on what each soul needed to do and what the state needed to do in order to work in harmony with God and truly attain temporal peace on earth. Recognizing Him as King, as St. Henry, St. Louis, and so many holy emperors honored by the Church did, is the only way to ever achieve peace and justice in God's eyes. Tom goes into detail in his essay on St. Henry, An Exemplar of Christ the King

Saturday was the Double Feast of The Seraphic Doctor, Saint Bonaventure, and due to a transformer being down in our neighborhood by "dry lightning" we lost power for over 15 hours and were not able to put this on until midday on Saturday. During the blackout what better thing to do than pray, especially since it happened just before leaving for the Fatima Rosary Procession downtown on the 13th of the month. Unable to because of the power outage, while we were praying the Sorrowful Mysteries, this editor's rosary broke in two places at the same time! Satan is indeed furious and we need today men of the caliber of St. Bonaventure who was a man full of "good fortune" from his earliest years. Humility was his virtue; his role model was St. Francis of Asissi, the holy founder who named him. He followed this man, continuing the ideals of the Franciscans, guiding them during turbulent times when growing pains created problems in the ranks and with various ecclesial authorities opposed to the Friars Minor. This Universal Doctor was one of the first saintly Cardinals of the Church. He was close friends with "The Angelic Doctor" St. Thomas Aquinas and the saintly king of France King Louis IX. He was the architect of the 2nd Council of Lyons and, fittingly, was called home by God immediately following completion of the Council. His work done on earth but continued through his writings and example; so much so that Saint Bonaventure is known as The Seraphic Doctor.

With a detailed analysis of the CDF's spin on "subsists in" coming in tomorrow's issue by Griff Ruby (who has so expertly exposed Lumen Gentium for the heretical document it's always been, particularly in his masterful essay Down the Yellow Brick Road to Apostasy: The Lumen Gentium Syndrome), we bring you first
Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey's response to the idiocy of William Levada's attempt of a recent "clarification" issued by the counterfeit conciliarists concerning the "proper" interpretation of Lumen Gentium. The "clarification" is nothing more than a reiteration of the "new ecclesiology" that has been critiqued so very well by His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn and Father Anthony Cekada. While not intending to be a thorough exegesis of Levada's "responses," which Tom will leave to Traditional clergy, the article reminds readers that Modernists believe that doctrine can "develop" in such a way as to place it in apparent contradiction, as they see it, with a previous teaching of the Catholic Church. Not to worry, of course. We can simply justify their positivistic assertions that "subsists" is the same as "is" and that heretical and schismatic churches and "ecclesial communities" have been "used by the Spirit of Christ as instruments of salvation." Ah, no. Heretical and schismatic churches are not instruments of salvation. Never have been, never will be. Tom clarifies in his Free to Lead Souls Astray

Editor's Note: Many thought the fireworks were last Wednesday on the Fourth of July, but the real fireworks came Saturday on 07-07-07 when the counterfeit imposter Benedict XVI continued his Hegelian game of synthesis by issuing the long-overdue and filled with land-mines Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. There have been many who are singing Te Deum's and bending over backwards to compliment Ratzinger. They're just ripe for the picking. Several have written that youtube has several ditties on it and practically for every traditional mass they show it is the true Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, not the indult of Angelo Roncalli. But blind bliss prevents them from realizing this. They'll see eventually, but right now they're blinded by the blitz which is exactly as Beneratz planned. Patronize the plebeians for awhile until they have no out. Bishop Bernard Fellay continued with his fence sitting, saying congratulations to Benedict while still issuing a "but" and yet, not a firm but. It would seem one can get sore fence-sitting. Robert Moynihan of Inside the Vatican filed a report titled, "The Old Mass Returns." No, Robert, it is not the old Mass because it's the indult and will be celebrated by men who aren't even priests. Heck, this editor might as well drive down to St. Patrick's and offer the Motu Mass. After all, I know more Latin than the current presider down there who's not a true priest. That's how ridiculous this whole thing is and tragic as well for those who are being duped. Over the next week and most likely beyond we'll hear about many "opinions" and "feelings" but that doesn't really amount to a hill of beans because faith is not about feelings, but about divine law and that very prerequisite makes this splashy Motu Proprio dry, bone dry on arrival and already disintegrating as well, so sadly, the resistance of so many who have stood so strong against Vatican II and the inherent heresies and the very men who enabled, perpetrated and perpetuated the apostasy. That is why below we present sane, practical, documented reasons why it's all full of hot air and cannot have any authority with God. And after all, isn't that Who really counts?

If any one is ready to refute those who think the new "extraordinary Motu Mess" is the answer to their prayers, it would be Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey who knows Ratzinger's agenda so well and knows the Novus Ordo or "ordinary Mess" as well as anyone, having written his expert analysis in his book G.I.R.M. Warfare. He equates Ratzinger's "generous offer of a universal indult" to Mr. Potter's offer to buy George Bailey's soul in the classic film It's a Wonderful Life!. George resisted with vehemence for though Potter tried to lure him in through the smoke of his big cigar, Bailey, played by the incomparable Jimmy Stewart, knew better when push came to shove. Now traditionalists are being pushed and Tom illustrates how we must shove back in his article exposing "Summorum Pontificum" for what it is, a big cigar that will go up in smoke as he explains in Mister Potter's Big Cigarand Strictly by the Script and Motu Plus Two

While numerous traditionalists are rejoicing momentarily over Ratzinger's Motu, there are several lessons to be learned and those who know issue the warning loud and clear: Be careful what you wish for. Many in the SSPX and others in the resist-and-recognize camp are now going to have to cease their resistance if they recognize any legitimacy of the issuance of Summorum Pontificum. And that is exactly what BeneRatz is counting on in depleting the opposition to his one world false religion. Divide and conquer has always been his motto and it shows through loud and clear in his motu. Father Moderator, one of the leading voices in long saying "I told you so," lends his insight on the "Hoax of Summarum Pontificum" and the status quo of Ratzinger's letter, as well as his series over the last few weeks "What evil lurks beneath the New Indult?" which you can peruse at Traditio in July.

Likewise, John Lane and John Daly, two of the leading apologists against the false popes, file their own reactions and document what's really behind this Motu if one only reads between the lines; if one only realizes what Catholic truth has always conveyed; if one only realizes that two wrongs can not make a right nor can a false pope make a rite that is pleasing to God. It's all smoke and mirrors, and the smoke is heating up as you can readily see if you step back from the stove. John Lane moderates a bevy of intelligent contributors who go on faith rather than feelings in illustrating how the vast majority don't realize they're already boiled and true Catholics need to pray that they will receive the grace to recognize they're just being tossed from the frying pan to the fire. They're already cooked. Several add their expertise at the John Lane's Aquinas Catholic Site where you can find the Bellarmine Forums

Father Anthony Cekada presents the palette that is Summorum Pontificum and reveals the true colors of Benedict's rainbow of inclusive diversity. While Fr. Moderator has said "the Moto Proprio has more holes than swiss cheese", Fr. Cekada the trap that awaits those who think a better Mass is in store. All Ratzinger has done is build a larger mass trap as Fr. Cekada writes, "Let the traditionalists who promoted it say what they will. For Ratzinger, the Motu Mass makes them merely one more color in his Vatican II rainbow." It is, as Father Cekada summarizes in his four page essay, "IN the long run, the Motu Mass will contribute to the steady decline of the post-Conciliar religion and the eventual death of Vatican II - Ratzinger's devil-baby, for which Limbo was never an option. At all this, we can only rejoice. In the short term, however, many gullible traditionalists will be lured to the Motu Mass because of convenience or the prospect of 'belonging to something bigger.' But the negative aspects of actually assisting at the Motu are pure poison." Father Cekads explains in his insightful essay, The Motu Mass Trap

For those who cannot attend Holy Mass on a daily basis, or even on Sundays because quite possibly a Traditional Latin Mass is not near, you can always send your Angel to the Holy Sacrifice on your behalf in order to join the untold choirs of Angels adoring Christ come down upon the altar.

PAPAL PROOF OF WHAT THE CHURCH TRULY TEACHES For those who truly want to delve deeper into what the Faith teaches and what past Sovereign Pontiffs have decreed, we recommend for your vital reading to better KNOW THE FAITH in order to KEEP THE FAITH, pertinent Papal decrees which put to the lie what is being promulgated today by the Vatican II church. We strongly encourage you to read these to understand how today the modern church is in Apostasy when compared to what had always been taught by Holy Mother Church and enforced and warned as most grievous by previous Pontiffs as you'll see in CREDO & CULTURE

When it comes to all these ungodly laws being passed by liberal judges because of the lobbying and intimidation of a small minority out to do away with the natural and supernatural order, it is wise to keep in mind the following:

"Unjust laws are, properly speaking, NO LAWS!"His Eminence Saint Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church

We invite you to find out for yourself the truth as we present a compendium portal of documents on the Faith in all aspects, past, present and to come. We guarantee what you read is in full harmony with the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church, and we guarantee you that if you read it all with a discerning heart you will be able to decipher the wheat from the chaff. You will better understand what the absolutes of our Faith are and not be fooled by modernism and ambiguities, no matter how cleverly they are couched. Remember satan is the father of half-truths. Read the fullness of the Truths and Traditions of the Roman Catholic Faith in the sections below.
